Hide Car Plate

Features
Read full description

Before sharing a car photo, quickly hide the car number on any visible license plate. Instead of a blur or mosaic, NumberEraser composites a custom color, text or image plate onto the photo, so it keeps its look. Detection, editing and compositing run on your device. Your photos are not uploaded to a server. ■ When to use it - Before posting your car on social media - For used-car and parts listings on online marketplaces - When sharing car meet, event or road-trip photos with other people's cars in the frame - For blog and video thumbnails ■ Three steps 1. Choose a photo 2. License plates are detected automatically and a replacement plate is composited over them (drag the four corners to fine-tune, or add a plate by hand) 3. Save to your photos, or share to messaging apps and social media ■ Automatic license plate detection An on-device model detects each license plate and estimates its four corners. The replacement follows the angle of the original plate, and the photo is also checked in sections so small plates on cars in the background are easier to find. Choose a detection level - strict, standard or lenient - to balance false detections against missed plates. If a plate is missed, add a frame and adjust it by hand. ■ Why not just blur it? A blur or mosaic makes it obvious that something was hidden. NumberEraser composites a plain or text plate over the number instead, so the car photo keeps its look. The "Auto" plate fills in with the color of the plate in the photo, so it blends in with the car. ■ Composite plates you can choose or design Start from samples in the plate colors used in your region, or create your own: a solid color, a plate with text such as PRIVACY, or an imported image. Pick colors from a palette, a color picker, or with an eyedropper on the photo. Choose the border color and width and one of five fonts. ■ Blend into the photo For plates other than Auto, a slider pulls the composited plate toward the color of the plate in the photo, so it is less likely to stand out in a dark parking lot, evening light or shade. ■ Plate shapes by region Plate previews follow the proportions used in Japan; North America; Europe, the UK and Korea; China; and Australia and New Zealand, and can be switched at any time. ■ Privacy - License plate detection and compositing run on your device; your photos themselves are not sent to a server - Saved images do not carry over the original photo's EXIF metadata, including location - Your original photo is left unchanged; the edited photo is saved as a new image - The app is free and shows ads
